With so many places to visit and an extensive subway system, I know New York City can feel overwhelming. There's nothing I love more than helping someone feel at ease and have a great experience exploring the amazing areas of New York. I'm a licensed NYC tour guide offering private, personalized, and fun full and half day neighborhood walking tours for families and small groups. With every tour, I aim to help people learn to navigate around town, hear great stories, capture wonderful photos, laugh a lot, and make amazing memories together. I am passionate, energetic, quick-witted, and love making people say "wow" at all the sites. I'm originally from Orlando, FL, but have lived in numerous places, including San Francisco, Atlanta, and even Sydney, Australia. Prior to becoming a guide, I worked for years helping well-respected non-profit organizations tell their stories and raise funds to support their critical work. For the past 11 years, my wife and I have called New York City home. We absolutely love living here and are always out exploring the city. I'm also a Broadway fanatic seeing more than 100 shows a year and am happy to offer suggestions for what to see and the best way to get tickets. It'll be an amazing day out in the city for you and your traveling companions. I can't wait to meet you.

Overview of your New York City tour

Want to see the real New York City? On this full-day walking tour, we'll immerse ourselves in some lesser known, yet incredible NYC neighborhoods. In the morning, we will explore the stunning residential streets of Brooklyn Heights. Then we'll make our way through the fascinating former warehouse district of DUMBO. In the afternoon, after walking the Brooklyn Bridge, we'll venture up to the mysterious Roosevelt Island. We'll finish the adventure in style with a stroll through classic Central Park. I have lived in both Brooklyn Heights and Roosevelt Island, so will offer a true local's perspective during our visit to the neighborhoods. You will be both surprised and dazzled by the history, views, and experience of visiting these "Off the Beaten Path" gems. They are some of my favorite places in the whole city, and I love sharing them with guests! My tours are very family friendly. Bring on the kids!
